[lagostada]

hi guys, i need some help

i'm using massive tab to control browsing over firefox and doing some cyclic stuff

but to know he has done what i want, i need him to read the text, or link, when tab has reached a certain clickable point and take if and else actions when he reads what he should

if you didnt understand please read

open autoitv3 main page

press tab untill you reach the Downloads clickable text

now i want the program to read what the tab is over on, either the Downloads text, or the link followin

is it possible

any help is welcome

Why dont you use the Au3 windows Info tool, and get the control ID of it. That way, you can select it easier.

Its in the Autoit folder in Programs Directory.

Use ControlRead?

Unfortunately, Firefox is difficult to script in AutoIt, because AutoIt can't read many control IDs in Firefox. The thought occurred to me to have it send the TAB key until the status bar displayed the correct URL, but AutoIt can't even read the status bar for Firefox.

My suggestion? Look into using the IE.au3 UDF for any web automation.

so what can we do with firefox + autoit today?

and how to set an if condition on auto it
